SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,779, dated. May 3,1904.

Application filed July 24,1903. Serial No. 166,812. No model.)

To all w hmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELTON E. REMSBERG, a citizen of the United States,residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements inVise-Mounts, of which thefollowing is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

This invention relates to vise-mounts, and has for its object to providea portable mount or stand adapted to receive an ordinary vise and whichmay be readily moved from place to place, so as to bring the vise to thework.

To this end my invention consists incertain novel features, which I willnow proceed to describe and will then particularly point out in theclaims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of astructure embodying my invention in one form, the same being shown witha swivel-vise mounted thereon. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of aportion of the structure shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a perspectiveview of the mount or stand having an ordinary or non-swiveling visemounted thereon.

In the said drawings, 1 indicates the base of the stand, which ispreferably triangular in form, said base having threesupporting-contacts or points of support, whereby it is adapted to restfirmly upon an uneven surface. Two of the points of support consist ofrollers 2, while the third point, 3, is plain or not provided with aroller, so that it is adapted to frictionally engage the floor or othersupporting-surface. By reason of this construction the stand may betilted so as to rest upon the rollers 2 and may then be readily movedfrom place to place, while the returning of it to an upright positionwill cause the friction-point 3 to engage the floor and prevent movementof the stand.

From the middle of the base 1 arises a column 4, secured at its lowerend to the base, while its upper end is formed into a yoke 5, whichsupports a cap-plate 6. Said cap-plate has a plain or flat uppersurface, and there is secured on it the table 7. Said table is providedon three of its edges with an upwardlyextending flange 8, which servesas a retaining device to prevent articles placed on the,

table from falling from the same. The fourth edge of the table 7 has adepending flange 9, which fits against the front edge of the cap- 'plate6, forming an abutment to hold the table firmly in place relatively tothe cap-plate. As an additional means for holding these two parts firmlyin proper relation to each other the cap-plate is provided with acentral opening 10 and the table is provided with a correspondingboss orprojection 11, which fits within said opening. The table and cap-platemay be secured together by bolts 12, so as to be readily disconnectedand assembled. It will be noted that the front edge of the table, whichis provided with adepending flange, has no upwardly-extending flange,since this is the side which the vise overhangs.

In Figs. 1 and 2 I have shown a swivel-vise mounted on the stand, thevise being indicated as a whole by the reference-numeral 13 andcomprising a base-plate 14:, secured to the table 7 by screw-bolts 15.Said base-plate constitutes a turn-table on which the body of the visemay turn, the pivot being formed by a vertical swivel-screw 16, theupper end of which is secured to the body of the vise 13 by a pin 17 orin any other suitable manner. The screw 16 passes through an unthreadedopening 18 in the base-plate 14: and through a similar unthreadedopening 19 in the table 7 and its boss or projection 10. The threadedlower end of said screw extends down into the space between the arms ofthe yoke 5 and there receives a hand-nut 20, which lies within the yoke,so as to be protected thereby, being at the same time readilyaccessible. WVhen the vise has been turned to any desired position, thehand-nut 20 is turned up so as to bear on the under side of the boss 10,thereby clamping the body of the vise to the base-ring 14: on the upperside of the table.

In Fig. 3 I have shown an ordinary or nonswiveling vise 21, secured tothe table 7 by bolts 22, which may also serve to secure the table to thecap-plate 6.

The structure as a whole forms a simple and eflicient mount for a viseof either description readily assembled for use or taken apart forshipment and readily moved from point to point, as desired, thuspermitting the vise to be brought to the work, which is frequently ofvery material advantage. The yoke-shaped head of the column forms anefficient support for the cap-plate and table, and the table in turnforms not only a support for. the vise, but also a support for the toolsand work. The yoke-shaped head enables the vise to be used in connectionwith a swivel-vise,,accommodating and protecting the clamping, but bywhich it is held in position after adjustment.

I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise detailsof construction hereinbefore described, and shown in the accompanyingdrawings, as the same may obviously be modified without departing fromthe principle of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a portable vise-mount, a base, acolumn arising from said base andprovided with a cap plate, and a table mounted on said capplate,provided at its rear and sides with an upwardly-extendingretainingflange,'andhaving a-t the front a depending flange to engagethe frontedge of the'cap-plate, substantially as'described.

2. In a portable vise-mount, the'combina tion, with a base, and a columnarising from said base and provided at its upper end with a yoke and acap-plate, said cap-plate having an aperture, of a table secured on thecapplate and having an upwardly-extending retaining fiange at its backand sides, the front edge of said table being provided with a dependingflange to fit against the front edge of the cap-plate, and the underside of said table being provided with a boss or projection to fit theaperture in the cap-plate, substantially as described.

3. In a portable vise-mount, the combination with a base, of a columnarising from the base and terminating at its upper end in a yoke andcap-plate, the latter being provided with a central aperture, a tablesecured on said cap-plate and provided with a boss or projection fittingthe aperture of the cap-plate, a base-plate or turn-table secured on thetable, a vise mounted on the base-plate and provided with a screwextending loosely through the baseplate-and through the table and itsboss into the space between the arms of the yoke,

and a clamping-nut mounted on said screw between the arms of the yoke,and-adapted to bear against the under face of the boss of the table,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
